Corruption Defence Lawyers
If you or your business are suspected of corruption, you need to seek specialist legal advice immediately. Our team of lawyers at Selachii LLP can help you understand the incredibly complicated legislation concerning corruption and advise you of the best steps to take in your individual circumstances.
Some corruption offences are very straightforward and are obviously illegal like bribing an official. But sometimes people can end up being convicted of corruption even though they are honest and have no intention of breaking the law. The law states that businesses must have adequate measures in place to stop corruption occurring so if you have failed to take the necessary steps, you could end up facing charges.
You are also at greater risk if you carry out business overseas as each country is governed by its own distinct laws, which can be very different from our own legislation in the UK. You may be asked to pay charges or fees which you are not sure are legitimate and it can be difficult to work out which are legal and which aren’t.
If you have any doubts and concerns about international corruption, contact us for expert help and advice.
